What Causes Neck And Shoulder Pain After Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment?
Good Afternoon. Tomorrow I am having radiofrequency ablation done on my neck. I had it done about 7 years ago and remember having a painful burning sensation on my neck and shoulder that lasted for about six weeks. Is there some kind of medicine I can ask my surgeon or doctor about that might help during my recovery? Thank you. Erin Maher

Hello,
Ablation therapy is an effective treatment option for neck pain.
This treatment is effective on pain and spasms in both the neck and shoulder.
I suggest to ask your doctor about a painkiller after radiofrequency ablation treatment.
I suggest Acetominphen three times a day.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
